Vince's New Muse


Kate Voegele has a straight-on rock sound, but with just a tinge of "Southern" (a-la Skynyrd, perhaps). Lyrics range from sassy to heart-felt, and her complex vocal rhythms will have you struggling to sing along. It's hard to pick favorites with so many fantastic tracks, but I think "I get it" has the best combination of rhythm, energy, and story. I have pretty much the whole album on my daily play list.

Check out Kate's site, then get the album Don't Look Away via Amazon or

Eagle Eye

Speaking of trailers...

Came across this very short, very cool trailer that could be quite promising. The story is from Steven Spielberg, with a screenplay written by a bunch of other people. Last time Spielberg handed off his story ideas to other writers we were given the Twilight Zoneish styled Amazing Stories. Good enough for me.

Also, it is directed by D.J. Caruso who, after the success of last year's Disturbia could prove himself to be on a bit of a roll. We'll see.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Ok, for months I've been reading about The Clone Wars without much interest. I didn't pay attention to any of it because I figured it would just be cheap crud...

Then this morning I downloaded the hi-def trailer from Apple.com, and my mind was changed. While I don't expect it to be awesome, the trailer is cool, and it appears that it will be worth the price of admission. Check out the trailer for yourself on the following link.

TV Schedule Announced for 2008 - 2009 Season

The networks recently announced their line-ups for next season, and upon checking them out, I found myself getting a little excited. Since I don't have TV service at my house, and I only watch the shows I like on DVD, my excitement may have been a little premature. Chances are, I probably won't have the patience to wait 'till next year, and will end up downloading them for whatever price itunes is offering.

Here's to hoping another strange union strike won't throw a wrench into the middle of everything again.
